In my experience this means 1 of 2 things:
1. You really do have a huge spam problem, or
2. You're using an IP address which has until recently had a spam problem.
I favour option 2 in your case (but don't preclude option 1!).
Why not follow the nice clear instructions given by AOL at the URL in
the message? Again, in my experience, they'll set you up with a
feedback loop so you can get notified in near realtime of problems. If
there are no live problems, ask them to lift the block.
